Be Kind to Your Hair 

Things that reduce your hairs’ strength and elasticity, and cause it to break more easily include, chemical processing (such as bleaching and highlighting), keratin straightening treatments, the suns UV rays, salt, chlorinated water, perms and the overuse of heated styling aids can result in hair damage and breakage. Luckily, for most of these issues, the hair grows back or the loss can be reversed with medical treatments. But it is important to see a professional if there seems to be something wrong, because the sooner treatment is started, the better the chances are for improving your growing season. Here are a few tips to curb hair breakage:  

• Don't brush your hair too often
• Apply a pre-shampoo conditioning treatment to your hair at least once a week
• Gently remove tangles with a wide-tooth comb, starting at your ends and gradually working up towards the roots 
• Use a heat protective serum before blow drying
• Don't pull your hair back too tightly when you style
• Try not to wrap hair ties too tightly around your hair. This can cut into the hair shaft and cause breakage.
• Protect your hair from the sun in the summer
• Limit your use of hair straighteners, hot roller or curling irons to twice a week
• If you bleach your hair, try not to overlap previous applications
• Trim split ends - if you leave them they can break further up your hair shaft

Get Beachy Wavy Hair without Getting Near the Sand
Have you ever wondered why you usually do not have a bad hair day at the beach? In diluted amounts, salt water can be beneficial to your scalp and hair. When a few moisturizers are added, you have an inexpensive salt spray that will make people think you just returned from Florida.

Sea-Salt Spray Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water – not boiling
• 1 Tbsp sea salt: This adds a texture to your spray. You do not have to worry about using sea salt. While it is more concentrated in ocean water and can cause damage to your hair, it is used sparingly in this recipe. There are also enough moisturizing ingredients to keep your hair safe.
• 1 tsp Epsom salt : You are not getting a double dose of salt since Epsom salt is not a true salt. It is magnesium in a crystallized form. Magnesium is healthy for your hair and adds conditioning and volume.
• 1 Tbsp organic coconut oil: This oil is one of the best moisturizers and conditioners for your hair. It also helps bind the other ingredients and makes them stick to your hair for best absorption.
• 1 Tbsp aloe vera gel: The ancient Egyptians used aloes as a moisturizer for their skin and hair in the harsh desert climate. Not only does aloe vera gel condition hair, but it can keep dandruff from building up on your scalp. It also helps your hair keep a curl or style.
• 5 drops essential oil, optional : Add a fresh citrus oil to your salt spray for a sweet smell.
• If you have blonde hair and want to add a few sun-kissed highlights to your hair, then you can add a teaspoon of pure lemon juice to this recipe (without the essential oil). Lemon juice works naturally with the sun to give you a lighter touch of blonde without the bleach.

To Make Salt Spray

1. Gently heat water on the stove until it is hot, but not boiling.
2. Add Epsom salt and sea salt and stir until it dissolved.
3. Next, add the coconut oil in and stir until it completely melts.
4. Stir in the aloe vera gel and add your essential oil drops (if you choose).
5. Mix everything up well and store in a spray bottle.

How To Use Your Salt Spray

1. Dampen your hair with plain water then spray your hair with salt spray.
2. Work it all through your hair and on the scalp.
3. Since there are a lot of heavy moisturizers in this recipe, you may want to use it lightly if you have oily hair.

With a few ingredients from your pantry, you can enjoy soft, luxurious beach hair without even being on the beach!

Another answer to your beauty problems has hit the airways. The latest craze in hair care is using Coca-Cola to wash hair instead of water. It has several reported benefits to your hair, and it may seem like it is worth a try. However, you may run into tangles along the way.

Suki Waterhouse, a model and actress, is known for her incredible hair. She recently reported to US Weekly that she rinses her hair out with Coca-Cola, which makes it look thick, tousled, and shiny. It is hard to believe that the beverage that is known to be so harmful to our health may be so beneficial to our hair.

Apparently, this sugary drink contains phosphoric acid, which has a very low pH. Applying it to your hair makes the cuticles tighten and the strands look more smooth. This, in turn, also defines curls more and reigns in any wispy hairs. Some people also report that the sugar builds up the hair, which makes it look thicker and fuller.

Rather than reaching for the sea-salt spray, going for a regular can of Coca-cola has the same effect on hair. It will add texture, volume, and shine. There, however, may be a downside.

The sugar in this product can cause your hair to stick together and tangle much easier than the typical shampoo and conditioner-type products. After getting out of the shower with Coca-cola dripping from your head, you may experience a sticky feeling in your hair and on your skin that is uncomfortable and even painful when trying to brush your hair out. Be sure to brush you hair while it is still wet, before all of the strands dry together.

However, despite the possible downfalls to this trick, users have reported positive results with this inexpensive hair hack. People have noticeably more texture and their hair looks like it has been tossed by the beach breeze, which is always a popular look for people.

Soak your hair in Coca-cola for two minutes in the shower and squeeze out the excess. When you're finished, let it dry and enjoy your new look. Your hair will probably dry a bit faster than normal, so that is an extra benefit.

Ready to Try a Dry Shampoo? Here's What You Need to Know.

Dry shampoos are an easy way to freshen your hair without having to wet & wash. When you are busy or on the run, the powder (usually starch or talc-based) absorbs excess grease and dirt by being sprayed or sprinkled onto the scalp.

The process is simple:

• Apply the dry shampoo to your scalp
• Work into roots of hair by massaging with your fingers
• Let sit for about a minute
• Brush and style as usual

While there are benefits, there are also some problems associated with the regular use of dry shampoo.

The Pros:

• Dry shampoos are easy and convenient to use for those who do not want to wash their hair often or have hair that easily becomes greasy throughout the day. Many people also use dry shampoos for a quick fix after going to the gym.
• By eliminating the need for daily styling, you can avoid excessive heat that causes damaged hair and split ends.
• By blow-drying, curling, and straightening less often, your hair gets a break from the heat.
• Dry shampoo can be used in certain problem areas of the hair, such as bangs that collect forehead oils.
• It can also be used in areas that need more volume than the rest of the hair.
• It is affordable. If you are willing to pay a little more, some dry shampoos even use an assortment of natural ingredients.

The Cons:

• Dry shampoo can aggravate existing scalp problems, such as dandruff
• Some cheap dry shampoo brands contain slightly toxic ingredients, while also leaving visible flakes and white powder in your hair.
• Dry shampoos can dry your hair and scalp out to the point where it no longer looks healthy and shiny.
• By stripping away natural oils and clogging the scalps pores, regrowth can become slower and/or difficult.

If you do decide to occasionally use dry shampoo, be willing to spend a little extra on the organic products that do not use aluminum, and be sure to use it sparingly.
